Where I Go Out

Haemul pajeon

Hai Woon Dai

$$, Korean, Antioch

"One of my favorite things to eat in Nashville. It’s super crispy and the sauce is delicious. The whole menu is good, but I also really enjoy the spicy braised octopus."

Mary's Old Fashioned Pit Bar-B-Que

$$, Southern, American, Bbq, Buena Vista

"This comes with a rack of short ribs (and has to be dipped in the hot sauce) between two slices of white bread, pickles and hot water cornbread. The turnip greens are my favorite side. It’s a ton of food!"

$$, Bbq, 12 South

"These are the best wings in Nashville. Smoked and fried, then tossed with Alabama white BBQ sauce and served with a side of the Devil's Nectar sauce to dip them in. It lights you up!"

$$, Full Bar, Thai, Edgehill

"The owner, Nina, is awesome and friendly. I always have the fermented Laotian pork sausage. It's fried and served with a super spicy ginger sauce and sticky rice. I usually end up ordering a Thai tea to cool off the heat from the chilies."

Husk Restaurant

At My Venues

Carolina Gold Rice Salad

Husk

$$$, Reservations, Full Bar, Southern / Soul, Rutledge Hill

"The simplicity and textures of this dish are winner. Sea Island Red peas and Peppers add freshness and balance and there are enough crunchy peanuts to have some with every bite. And don't forget the perfect 6 minute egg. Well done Chef!"

Rusty’s Southern

Country Ham & Bourbon

Husk

$$$, Reservations, Full Bar, Southern / Soul, Rutledge Hill

"Eat next door in the Husk dining room for sure but start or finish here with the shaved Broadbent Ham backed with any of the amazing bourbons. They go together magically. The space is beautiful and rustic yet super comfortable."

$$$, Reservations, Full Bar, Southern / Soul, Rutledge Hill

"The cheeseburger at Husk is the best I’ve ever eaten. I love its simplicity, the freshest benne seed bun, and the smokiness that comes from the grinding of Benton’s bacon into the two thin burger patties."
